IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION - READ THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS
BEFORE YOU OR YOUR CHILD PLAY VIDEO GAMES
SEIZURE WARNING
WARNING
• Some people (about 1 in 4000) may have seizures or blackouts triggered by light flashes or
patterns, such as while watching TV or playing video games, even if they have never had a
seizure before.
• Anyone who has had a seizure, loss of awareness, or other symptom linked to an epileptic
condition should consult a doctor before playing a video game.
• Parents should watch when their children play video games. Stop playing and consult a
doctor if you or your child have any of the following symptoms:
Convulsions Eye or muscle twitching
Altered vision Involuntary movements
• To reduce the likelihood of a seizure when playing video games:
1. Sit or stand as far from the screen as possible.
2. Play video games on the smallest available television screen.
3. Do not play if you are tired or need sleep.
4. Play in a well-lit room.
5. Take a 10 to 15 minute break every hour.
REPETITIVE MOTION INJURIES
WARNING
Playing video games can make your muscles, joints or skin hurt after a few hours. Follow these
instructions to avoid problems such as Tendonitis, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome or skin irritation:
• Take a 10 to 15 minute break every hour, even if you don't think you need it.
• If your hands, wrists or arms become tired or sore while playing, stop and rest them for
several hours before playing again.
• If you continue to have sore hands, wrists or arms during or after play, stop playing and
see a doctor.
BATTERY LEAKAGE
WARNING
Leakage of battery acid can cause personal injury as well as damage to your Game Boy. If
battery leakage occurs, thoroughly wash the affected skin and clothes. Keep battery acid away
from your eyes and mouth. Leaking batteries may make popping sounds.
To avoid battery leakage:
• Do not mix used and new batteries (replace all batteries at the same time).
• Do not mix alkaline with any other type of battery (carbon zinc, nickel cadmium, etc).
• Do not mix different brands of batteries.
• Do not use nickel cadmium (nicad) batteries in your Game Boy, Game Boy pocket or
Game Boy Color.
• For Game Boy Advance use only alkaline batteries. Do not use nickel cadmium (nicad),
nickel metal hydride (nimh), carbon zinc or any other non-alkaline batteries.
• Do not leave used batteries in the Game Boy. When the batteries are losing their charge,
the power light may become dim, the game sounds may become weak, or the display
screen may be blank. When this happens, promptly replace all used batteries with new batteries.
• Do not leave batteries in the Game Boy or accessory for long periods of non-use.
• Do not leave the power switch on after the batteries have lost their charge. When you finish
using the Game Boy, always slide the power switch OFF.
• Do not recharge the batteries.
• Do not put the batteries in backwards. Make sure that the positive (+) and negative (-) ends
are facing in the correct directions. Insert the negative end first. When removing batteries,
remove the positive end first.
• Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.
The Game Boy Advance SP contains a rechargeable lithium ion battery pack. Leakage of
ingredients contained within the battery pack, or the combustion products of the ingredients, can
cause personal injury as well as damage to your Game Boy. If battery leakage occurs, avoid
contact with skin. If contact occurs, immediately wash thoroughly with soap and water. If liquid
leaking from a battery pack comes into contact with your eyes, immediately flush thoroughly
with water and seek medical attention.
To avoid battery leakage:
• Do not expose battery to excessive physical shock or vibration.
• Do not disassemble, attempt to repair or deform the battery.
• Do not dispose of battery pack in a fire.
• Do not touch the terminals of the battery, or cause a short between the terminals with a
metal object.
HARDWARE PRECAUTIONS / MAINTENANCE
1. Do not disassemble or try to repair the Game Boy or components. Doing so voids your
warranty.
2. Always slide the power switch of the Game Boy off before loading or removing a Game
Pak. Insert the Game Pak completely without forcing either the Game Pak or the Game Boy.
3. Do not store the Game Boy in a humid place, on the floor or in any location where it may
collect dirt, dust, lint, etc.
4. Do not drop, hit or otherwise abuse the Game Boy or components.
5. Make sure all connections to the Game Boy are made carefully and inserted into the
correct locations only. Hold plugs straight when inserting them into a socket.
6. When disconnecting any plugs from the Game Boy or wall outlet, first turn the Game Boy
off. Then carefully pull by the plug itself rather than by the cord. Do not step on, sharply
pull or bend any wires or cables.
7. Do not expose the Game Boy, Game Paks or any of the Game Boy components to
extreme heat or cold. The liquid crystal display (LCD) may become slower or may not
work when the temperature is low. The LCD will deteriorate at a high temperature. Take
care not to expose the Game Boy to direct sunlight for extended periods of time.
8. The LCD may be damaged by sharp objects or pressure. Take great care to protect the
display from scratches or stains.
9. Connect ONLY special accessories designed for use with the Game Boy to the external
power supply terminal or the extension connector.
10. Do not spill liquids on the Game Boy, Game Paks or any other of the Game Boy
components. To clean, use a soft slightly damp cloth. Allow the component to dry
completely before using again. (Use water only.)
11. Do not rapidly turn the power switch on and off, as this may shorten the life of the
batteries and cause battery backed-up Game Paks to lose your stored game information.
12. For the best game image, look directly at the Game Boy display from the front and
operate only in a good light.

HARDWARE PRECAUTIONS / MAINTENANCE (continued)
13. To avoid dirt or dust from getting into the Game Boy, always leave a Game Pak loaded
(with the power off), when not in use.
14. When using an AC adapter, make sure you are using the correct model appropriate for
your Game Boy. Always unplug the AC adapter from the wall outlet when not in use.
GAME PAK PRECAUTIONS / MAINTENANCE
1. Avoid touching the connectors with your fingers. Do not blow on them or allow them to get
wet or dirty. Doing so may damage the Game Pak and/or the Game Boy.
2. The Game Pak is a high precision piece of electronics. Do not store it in places that are
very hot or cold. Do not hit, drop or otherwise abuse it. Do not take it apart.
Loss of awareness
3. Do not clean with benzene, paint thinner, alcohol or any other solvent.
Disorientation
4. Always check the Game Pak edge connector for foreign material before inserting the
Game Pak into the Game Boy. To prevent the edge connectors from becoming dirty, we
recommend that you regularly use the Game Boy Cleaning Wand. (Sold separately. Visit
